It's been too long since took population biology. Maybe John has an idea? I loved the beginning of Jonathan Strange, but by the end was kinda iffy on it. I think I reviewed it on the blog way back when - or mentioned it at least. Nice to see you, Pierre – I’ve got no answer for you, though. It’s been too long since took population biology.

Where do you find this stuff? Incestuous mites don't bother me, but I found the little humanoid faeries pretty creepy. Exactly true, then. I was unable to maintain my detachment, Farmer forced emotions on me. What an insightful point you make there; pegged my reaction spot on. I'm pretty impressed. My reaction to "Flayed Angel" is a bit clearer to myself now. I never knew faerie tales had darker roots; the cruel faeries of <i>Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell </i>make much more sense now.

I really like such dives into the darker sides of fantasy which, as you rightly stated, is what fantasy was initially about. Concerning Acarophenax tribolii, I must say I am a bit puzzled. What is the evolutionary benefit of sexual reproduction, if all reproduction takes place among brothers and sisters ? You would think that the variability of offsprings would be desperately low, making this reproduction course almost no better than parthenogenesis, for a much higher cost. Or am I missing something there ? Amazing art indeed. I really like such dives into the darker sides of fantasy which, as you rightly stated, is what fantasy was initially about.
